During the mid 1980's, a plan by the NSW Roads and Traffic authority to extend the Warringah Freeway along the north edge of Castle Cove was abandoned following an outcry from local residents.

Around 1985, the descendants of Henry Willis attempted to subdivide the land around the Castle, to be used for construction of several town houses, and turn the Castle into a wedding reception center. As the land earmarked for the town houses was previously donated to the Castle owners by the government to enhance the Castle grounds, it was felt that profiteering from this was inappropriate. As a result, the Willoughby council rejected the rezoning required to build the townhouses. Permission to run a business from the Castle was also rejected. The Castle owners then sold the property for approx $4 million, via an onsite public auction.
